Teaching-Learning Methodology
Topics are taught using interactive lectures, short video clips, and simple numerical with real-life examples. Students are encouraged to relate each concept to devices they use daily — phone chargers, laptops, fans, UPS, and EVs. Tutorial sessions focus on problem-solving. No electronics device theory is included here.
